2009-03-18 20:14:37 Steve Dee description After leaving things alone for a while, the panel and some windows will stop redrawing in compiz. This presented itself as nm-applet failing to show changing networks status, but seems to be a more general phenomenon. I've not yet found any way to reliably reproduce it, but it does seem to happen fairly often under extended use. Under some conditions, certain windows and panels will stop being redrawn while using compiz. This persists until they are moved around or minimized/restored. This is particularly bad with panels---while it rapidly becomes apparent that an application has stopped visually responding, there is usually no obvious sign at all that the panel has stopped updating, resulting in reading the wrong time or in thinking that panel applets are in a different state from reality. One way to reliably reproduce this bug (as shown in the attached video) is to, while connected to a wireless network, with applets in a non–full-width panel, use nm-applet to initiate a connection to another network. This causes the panel to stop responding, as well as certain windows (observed with a full-screen Firefox window.)
